Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com This movie is certifiably insane, that's a given, but it's also extremely witty, has far more intelligence than you might originally expect and has a grand time exploding clichés and playing with an audience's expectations. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 27, 2012 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Here's something you don't see every day: a genial, politically correct splatter comedy. Jan 4, 2012 Full Review Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com Clever horror/comedy hybrid of the kind that Sam Raimi used to make and that so many have tried to produce in recent years but have fallen remarkably flat. There's nothing flat about this clever genre flick. For the right audience, it's pretty great. Rated: 4.0/5.0 Oct 7, 2011 Full Review Chase Hutchinson The Inlander (Spokane, WA) A delightful buddy comedy that doesn’t skimp on blood when all the horror shenanigans take hold, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil remains an all-time cult movie worth pledging your soul to. Bursting with silly gags and gory kills, it remains a horror lover’s dream. Oct 11, 2025 Full Review David Day Horror Movie Talk The dry wit and laugh out loud moments in this movie are a ton of fun and often the result of totally shocking and unexpected misunderstandings or accidents. The characters are completely wonderful and easy to fall in love with. Rated: 7/10 Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh A simple, clever premise that fully pays off exactly how you'd hope it could, thanks to the charm and chemistry between the two leads. Rated: 5/5 Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Tony G I laughed a lot more than I thought I would. This was ludacrous to nth degree and one hell of a fun time! This is one of those sure to be cult favorites for decades to come! At no point doest the movie take itself seriously and the cast delivers on every line! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Alan B. Fun and funny. Definitely worth watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Muhammad M. To be honest this movie was recommended by friend it was really hilarious on first point it reminded me of scary movie but it also had its own sense of what it was actually doing story was kind of felt weird but it felt like it was betraying as the old victim and the crazy guy but you know I liked it Hope I see something come up next for this company or movie industry Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/15/25 Full Review DMA 1. Amazing, recommended! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/25 Full Review Melvin D. A great concept for a horror - comedy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/25 Full Review Andrew D Definitely rewatch worthy horror/comedy that brings both the laughs and lots of heart for something completely different. Another classic in my book. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
